Debate exposed Dems Biden facade
“Oh, God …”
That was my spontaneous gasp mere seconds into the now-infamous Trump-Biden CNN debate, which took place one year ago this Friday. The president of the United States, Joe Biden, had come out mumbling, raspy, and in a fog thicker than anything seen in London.
I confess, after four years of being called a domestic terrorist by the man, I had been looking forward to seeing him get taken to the mats by Donald Trump. The thought of Biden embarrassing himself had filled me with giddy anticipation in the run-up to the debate. I had agreed with the speculation that the debate had been scheduled so early in the season so that if the Big Guy failed Big Time there’d be time for the Democrats to make a change.
But that’s politics. Not life and death. And America’s president, my president, was acting like his mental faculties had been left on the beach in Delaware and the Grim Reaper was waiting in the Spin Room. I feared for the country. And for him.
What unfolding on stage was stunning, like watching the Hindenburg slowly engulfing in flames, and sinking to the ground. Even Trump, the brawler from Queens squaring off against the rival responsible for his home being raided and dozens of criminal charges across four jurisdictions, held back. At one point, Trump was asked, “What is your response to what President Biden just said?”
“I honestly don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” he replied sadly. “I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
It was not a punch line.
...
I was not as surprised as Perrota was. I, and most of America, had been watching Biden stumbling and mumbling around for months. It left many of us wondering whether Jill Biden or some staff member was actually making decisions for the country. Watching Kamala Harris attempt to articulate polies was just as worrying.
